FluidSynth is a software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications. From 1.1.2 until 2.5.6, the FluidSynth command handler accepts a pitch_bend_range command whose channel argument is not bounds checked before the supplied value is written through the selected synth channel. An out-of-range channel can therefore cause an out-of-bounds heap write, leading to denial of service or possible code execution. The issue is remotely reachable when the TCP server is enabled through new_fluid_server() or fluidsynth -s, and it is locally reachable through malicious commands delivered to the FluidSynth shell on standard input. Applications that do not use the shell, command handler, or TCP server are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.6.

FluidSynth is a free software synthesizer. Its currently based on the SoundFont 2 specifications and supports real time MIDI effect controls. It can be used as a shared library for embedding in other applications, can play MIDI files and has a command line shell. Many other applications use FluidSynth for audio synthesis. Security Fix(es):

A heap-based buffer overrun was discovered in fluidsynth's command handler. Sending a `pitch_bend_range` command to the handler with an out-of-bounds `channel` argument will attempt to write the provided `value` argument into heap memory. If the command handler is exposed via fluidsynth's TCP server (i.e. created via `new_fluid_server()` or via `fluidsynth -s`) an attacker may manipulate heap memory, causing denial of service or remote code execution.(CVE-2026-58264)
